Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 medium red pepper diced
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain or jasmine rice
  • ½ tsp Cumin
  • 1 can 14.5 oz chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked or shredded chicken
  • 2 cups frozen sweet corn
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained

Instructions

  • Step OneAdd the olive oil to a large non-stick skillet (this Staub pan is my go-to for dishes like this!) and heat over medium heat until warm.
  • Next, add the pepper and onions and saute for approximately 3 minutes until they start to soften. 
  • Next, stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Step TwoStir in the rice, broth, and cumin and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer until the rice is tender. (This should take about 15 minutes but keep an eye on it to make sure you do not burn the rice.)
  • Next, stir in the remaining ingredients, put the cover back on, and allow it to cook until everything is completely heated.
